Anyway I decided to have a go at making some. It seemed simple enough, but this is knapping and nothing is straightforward. Anyway after a few experiments and learning the nuances I finally got around to completing the first panel. A very simple one to begin, but now I can do it successfully I've started on some more complex ones.

Here it is, maybe the first panel made for over a century.

Now I've relearnt the art, I've begun of a some more complex ones. New and old designs. Even a horse. Damn difficult, but my progress so far. I'll try to finish it before the new year.

Here it is, can't remember how much, but I think £15. Someone was selling a bunch of old hammers om Ebay. It was brand new. Had a go at Brandon style flaking, damn difficult. Got some nice flakes though and a hell of a lot of debitage.
